The devotion to this image was born in Russia for the healing of a woman on October 24, 1688 in Moscow. This icon was a goal for many pilgrims and patients. In 1720, czar Peter the Great took a copy to the war against the Turks and other one to his residence to Saint Petersburg. The Virgin standing before the throne, receives the requests of the faithful. On top Christ the King.
